Can't burn cd's using iTunes 7.3 and 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate

Every time I try to burn a CD I get the following error:
"Disc Burner or Software Not Found"
I have checked Device Manager and no problems with the disc burner there. I've even burned cd's from Windows Media Player(and dvd movies with other programs), but I would prefer using iTunes 7.3 to burn cd's. From reading the discussions it is my understanding that iTunes cd burning functionality doesn't work with 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista. Is there a fix for this? Please advise.

Here's how to get Itunes to work in Vista and XP64 bit:
Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click on Command Prompt -> Run As Administrator.
Type “cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64″
Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll
If you don’t do Run as Administrator, the regsvr32 will fail. Also, be careful to run the command in SysWOW64, not System32! System32 on a 64-bit system actually contains the 64-bit system libraries.

  • Firefox greying out and hanging queit often (Firefox not responding appears a lot) - particularly on Facebook, but not exclusively. Iam using 3.6.13 and fully updated, windows vista fully updated.

    really described it as best I could in the question, addittionally:
    sometimes it will not come back at all and I have to close it via the task manager.
    If it does comeback it can take a minute or more, it is happening so often and becoming so damed anoying that I am contemplating uninstalling it and using a different browser - not much option though as I would never use I.E. don't want google (chrome) snooping on my data and Opera is just functionally crap!
    Any help suggestions to this would be welcome - no I'm not going to upgrade to FF4.0 Beta - I have never wanted to be a guinea pig !

    Try turning off your Anti-virus scanner as well as disabling all add-ons in the Firefox. Does that change anything?
    Also, clear the Firefox cache using Tools > Clear Recent History > Select "Everything" for time range, and click "Clear Now".
    Then try.

  • Ever since I downloaded the new itunes I can't burn CD's using my external

    I can't burn cd's using my writemaster external CD drive. I can't use the one inside the computer because it's a piece of crap and burned out months ago. I burned a CD yesterday with no problem My only guess is that it has something to do with the new itunes! Help! Suggestions? Support numbers I can call? Anything!

    Oh! and Sorry... I downloaded some other burn software a little bit ago, and it's working fine. It's just WAY slower than iTunes. Anyone know what I can do?!

    Converting does not mean losing the original files.
    iTunes creates copies of the files in the chosen format.
    You can easily distinct them by looking at the 'Kind' column or by sorting on 'Date Added'. The converted files will have the most recent 'Date Added'.
    Then put them in a playlist, choose 'MP3 CD' in the Burning preferences and burn them to CD-R.
    If you don't like a long list of songs, read iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD how to burn by artist or album.
    If all went well, you can delete the mp3's from your library.
    If you would like to keep them, but not in your current library, drag them from the library to a folder on your desktop and then delete them. Dragging to a folder will create copies of the mp3's.
    If you're using iTunes 7, you could then create a second library and drop the folder with mp3's in that one.
    Creating a second (third etc....) library is done by pressing and holding the Option-key when launching iTunes. Hold the key until you see a window which enables you to create or choose another iTunes library.

  • I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly.

    I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly. I was just able to burn a CD and now can't burn another. Any thoughts? I know my CD burner works as I just made a disc. I have tried changing file type from Audio to MP3 with no luck. Thanks for trying to help me.

    Hello Sonni,
    It sounds like you are unable to burn a disc with iTunes due to this error code. I would first use the following article to check issues with the type of disc drive:

  • Why can't two different users use Itunes on the same computer with different log ins

    They can, but not at the same time.
    If one user left iTunes running, and another user tries to use iTunes from a different Windows user ID, that second user will get an error message.  If they really want to use iTunes, they either have to beg the first user to log in and close iTunes, or else they have to restart the computer.
    If you are asking the technical reason why, it is something about context switching.

  • How can I turn my Mac using iTunes into an alarm clock?

    Here's my question: How can I turn my Mac, using iTunes, into an alarm clock?
    I want to be able to put my Mac to sleep but have it set up so that when it wakes up at the predetermined time iTunes will open and start playing the music I've selected....
    A "musical alarm clock"...
    A friend suggested using the Energy Saver option in Sys. Preferences to wake the computer at the right time. He said that then I could use iCal to start iTunes. I would then have to use an Apple Script to get iTunes to play the song I want.
    But is there a SIMPLER way to do this? Are there any programs out there that do this already??
    Thanks for any help....

    I recently got a copy of AlarmClock Pro from MacWorld UK. It is shareware, I think it is (USD?)19. I haven't had a chance to try it out much, but it does look quite good. I have an older version. The latest version looks even better.
    I'm sure there's plenty of freeware apps out there. You might also want to try looking here for an applescript here Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes

  • HT1363 My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.

    My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.  I have the latest version of iTunes.  Windows has all the most recent updates too.  I can reset the iPod, but the message to Use iTunes to restore comes back and I am stuck.

    Already tried another USB port, still nothing.
    I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.
    It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.
    Please help

  • Just finished using iTunes, closed out and then tried to get back in.  Got this message "he iTunes library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."  How can I get back into iTunes ?

    I just finished using iTunes, closed out and then tried to get ack in.  Got this message "The iTunes library .9tl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."   How can I get back ino iTunes ?

    I actually figured it out...I had to go to the iTunes Library Extras.itdb file and give myself permission to have full control.  THEN, I could go and estore a previos version.  Once I had done this, I got the same message for iTunes Library Genius.itdb . . . I did the same thing with it and Voila'!!
    Hope this helps...

    I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down  command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
    Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

    Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
    You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

  • I can't burn a cd from Itunes.

    I can't burn a cd from Itunes....If I try to burn a playlist it says i need multiple cd's and I only have 5 songs on that playlist. If I try to burn it anyway it doesn't do anything.

    BTW have tried two kinds of disks, one kind of which I have a burned playlist from last year so I don't think it is the disks.

  • If I copy a CD (either music or audio) on my Windows based Pc can I access the copy using itunes?

    If i copy a Cd (either music or audio) on my Windows based PC can I access the copy using itunes.  I have a ipod Nano, 7th generation.

    You should use iTunes to "rip" (encode) the songs directly into your iTunes library from the CDs.  This article provides a good description of how that is done using iTunes.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1156861/howto_rip_cds.html
    If you use some other program to encode the content on those CDs, you can add any audio files that are in a format that iTunes can play (such as MP3 and AAC) to your iTunes library.  "Windows Media" files are not playable by iTunes, but the Windows version of iTunes can convert them while importing (as long as the files do not use DRM).
